India Allocates Rs 10,000 Crore to Foster AI and Emerging Technologies

India announces a Rs 10,000 crore fund to support startups in Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.

India has announced a significant financial commitment to boost its startup ecosystem, particularly focusing on new-age technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. In her budget speech earlier this year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman confirmed the allocation of Rs 10,000 crore to support venture capital firms investing in innovative tech-driven startups.

This fund represents the second outlay of significant capital aimed at invigorating the venture capital landscape in India. The initiative is designed to bolster the technological capabilities of Indian entrepreneurs, enhancing their ability to contribute to the global economy by developing solutions in pivotal areas like Artificial Intelligence.

By channeling resources into emerging technologies, the Indian government aims to establish a strong foundation for future growth and innovation. This financial move is part of a broader strategy to position the country as a leader in technological advancement, enabling startups to scale and thrive in highly competitive sectors.
